Abstract
When installing the Microsoft Windows™ installer service, the install system suppresses a reboot of the computer device. The install system with reboot suppression includes a load mechanism that loads the install system to a temporary directory. A directory mechanism then sets the path for the install system to the temporary directory, and an executing mechanism executes the install system from the temporary directory. The method suppresses a reboot of the computer device when installing the Microsoft Windows™ installer service and includes the steps of loading the install system to a temporary directory and setting a path for the install system as the temporary directory. Then the install system is executed from the temporary directory.
